Girl Scout Cadette Samantha earned her Silver Award by volunteering hundreds of hours working at Southern Hope Animal Rescue and has earned her Silver Award for her project titled, Show Your Care of SHARE - Rescue Education Day. She has helped with the rehabilitation and adoption of numerous animals with recovery needs so it was important to Samantha to educate others about the importance of adoption as another option to buying pets.
She held an event for the Girl Scouts in her area at a farm shelter and taught them about the animals housed there, the history of how the animals got there and how to help prevent situations where animals would be abandoned or abused. She explained how to be a responsible animal owner through fun activities that included engagement with the animals. She plans to hold this event annually to keep awareness of area animal rescue efforts going in her community.
Congratulations, Samantha!
